Think For A Moment..

So much information is available today on just about any subject that a mind could wander to. Some are writing about this, others about that, but the writing and the talking are available in voluminous mountains to assault the minds of the word weary masses. The exhausting expanse of words being used to describe the world's social, economic and moral demise defy their numeration, but to be sure, they're fodder available for the propagation of helplessness, depression, anxiety and feelings of utter worthlessness.

...But think for a moment; If  you or I were in the presence of a horrific power that had every reason necessary to justify destroying us in the most unimaginably terrifying and excruciating way and we were it's focus,... what would our approach be? Would we disregard and ignore it? Or would that power become our primary focus - towering above all of the world's senseless din? Such is our current fate... but also found in it... is our only source of hope.

We're assaulted constantly with news of this or that and the exhausting intellectual ramblings of an endless host of arrogant people, but far above it all and most concerning to the fate and future of every human being that God has given life to are any and every word that God has ever uttered. 

They're words that we insolently forget and disregard in our hurry to cater to the draw of a busy and distracting world and our clamor to gain the best fleeting outcomes and positions for ourselves and those we find ourselves akin to. They're words that far above any other hold the core and truth of our fate - both what we suffer now and will come to endure in the future.

I feel like I can identify at least to some degree with the prophet Isaiah when he said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies”  (Isaiah 6:5 NLT). I am as tainted by my own failures and crimes against God's standards as any - by even only just one count I am certainly convicted. I've met both my judge and my savior - the two being one and the same entity who holds court over the faint temporal efforts and the endless future of every life that He's ever given, but I am saved by Him also. I am justified and pardoned of my failure by my submission to Him, but also by that same continuing submission I have become His friend and know that however the world falls into chaos and destruction now, or in the future, He will not forget me or ever leave me.

He who holds the power of life and death over every being that He's created metes justice according to His own standards, pardons all who submit to His terms, and gives life both now and eternally according to the wealth of His own limitless economy. It's His words that matter. It's His promises and the prerequisites set before us to attain the fruit of them - for both now and in the future that matter. It's His terrifying power over all that He's created that holds certain His eternal Kingdom and His reign is both perfectly righteous and just over even the smallest details in its endless expanse that matters. All else are the futile ramblings of far lesser beings in a fleeting, temporary world. 

Think for a moment...

...The God who gives birth to planets and breathes out stars created me and you also and continually reigns over us. What He says matters... all else is din.
